Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor old Chet. And poor you guys, dealing with skunk!

Woke up early, so maybe I should get up and at em. Bleh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’m off to have breakfast with Jessica and ita.

Oh, nice!

Because Saturday morning is Daily Show/Colbert time, I'm thinking that I wish the character of Colbert hadn't gone on TDS to say he was leaving -- it would have been kind of amazing if the character had just slowly cracked up over time and left in a blaze of shame/glory.

New sports bra fits pretty good. My shirt matches the stripe on my capris which are both pretty close to the color of my shoes. I may not be fast, but I will look cute running this race.

Sorry about the skunk, Scrappy. That's one critter I haven't had wander through my yard noticeably, for which I am grateful.

Oh, Jesse, that is a brilliant idea. He still could do the cracking up/on camera breakdown...

And isn't that what really matters?

Also, "Clay Aiken" makes a lot more sense as the name of a southern politician than as the name of a pop singer.

Happy breakfasting in NYC!

There will be sauteed skinny asparagus and mushrooms this weekend. First appearance of the skinny stuff this week.

So much to do this weekend, all self inflicted, per usual.

Yup.

To both.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had a green smoothie for breakfast. It was tasty, but the real joy is the feeling of smugness.

Also, I expect that this one smoothie will cure all my ills.
